Physics and astrophysics of strong magnetic field systems with eXTP

Andrea Santangelo, Silvia Zane, Hua Feng +38

In this paper we present the science potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies of strongly magnetized objects. We will focus on the physics…

Evidence for Optically Thick, Eddington-limited Winds Driven by Supercritical Accretion

Yu Zhou, Hua Feng, Luis C. Ho +1

Supercritical accretion onto compact objects powers a massive wind that is optically thick and Eddington-limited. If most of the hard X-rays from the central disk are obscured by t…

Chandra Survey of Nearby Galaxies: Testing the Accretion Model for Low-luminosity AGNs

Rui She, Luis C. Ho, Hua Feng +1

From a Chandra sample of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in nearby galaxies, we find that for low-luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs), either the intrinsic absorption column density, or the fra…

Evidence for precession due to supercritical accretion in ultraluminous X-ray sources

Shan-Shan Weng, Hua Feng

Most ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are thought to be supercritical accreting compact objects, where massive outflows are inevitable. Using the long-term monitoring data with t…
